I'm against Obama's policies and I have never been called racist by an Obama supporter (Representatives, politicians)

See, the problem is not that everyone critical of Obama is racist. The problem is that every racist is critical of Obama. Thus, it's easy to group the two together and have one reflect really negatively on the other.

The problem is that much of the criticism of Obama has nothing to do with his policies.
What do any of these things have to do with his policies?
His nationality
Comparing him and his family to apes
Watermelon
Koolaid
Fried Chicken
White slavery
African witch doctor
Thuggery
Africa
Pretty much kills the teabagger argument that anyone who is anti Obama is a labeled a racist.
Being against Obama does not make you a racist. However, if you refer to Obama or his family as apes and accuse Obama of liking watermelon, fried chicken, welfare, and food stamps, you might be a racist, or a tea partier.
I never called Obama's family any of that but I'm against his policies and didn't like his associations and some of the remarks Michelle made and therefore was called a racist or suggestions of being a racist were made on this forum by some whiners who had nothing else to say...I don't pay much attention to the name calling since it is a sign of not being able to give better feedback. Just a short coming of some lefties.
[quote=brattpowered;21078829]What are some examples of this from your real, non-online life? Any stories? I'd be interested in hearing them. I've been involved in and have observed a lot of non-race based arguments about Obama's policy and have never seen the race card pulled by Obama supporters.[/quote]
You are kidding, right?
Do you read the news? Ever hear of Jimmie Carter? Eddie Bernice Johnson? and many others.

I have NEVER called Obama any of those things and I've been called a racist many I mean many times. So guess that goes against your theory
Guess I can start a thread and simply say something hasnt happened to me and that must mean it never happens
By the way, I'm amazed that there are liberals who think Obama is liberal or anything better than the lesser of evils. He's pretty much Bush Lite in my opinion. Our country is collapsing economically because of fighting useless wars overseas, but Obama caved to the "defense" corporations' demands for more taxpayer money to develop weapons to bomb camel herders with greater and greater accuracy. He's said that war and military expenditures are "off the table" for consideration in reforming the national budget, even though they're the most obvious place to start. As some of you may remember, he even plagiarized Bush's speeches about why we needed to be over there, and how we were going to withdraw eventually but the numbers of soldiers and the expenditures had to increase so that we could safely withdraw some day.
Actually, he's Bush on Steroids. He has taken all of the bad things that Bush did and grown them. Bush was a big spender, but Obama has out spent Bush.
Obama has fixed none of Bush's issues. There is absolutely nothing that Obama has done to turn around the Bush spending fiasco.
I've never seen a post by you that is critical of Obama's policies; just post after post whining about "teabaggers".
